LET’S GO DEEPER:

1. This section of Scripture deals with how the old covenant points to the new. How would you explain the old covenant?

2. How did the old covenant point to the new? What is the new covenant? What Bible passages are helpful in defining and explaining the two covenants.

3. Explain the relationship between the old covenant and sacrifices. Why did God institute the sacrificial system?

4. Why does the author note that rather than bringing forgiveness of sin, the sacrificial system actually brought a reminder of sin?
